Lead Swinger Blues

I note that the government is trying to get tough with the lead swingers and lazy fuckers on Incapacity Benefit. Apparently, there are whole towns in the northeast whose citizens have mysteriously developed ?bad backs? over the last decade or so and it?s costing us billions. But the government is facing opposition from some middleclass toss-pots on the Labour back benches, who, from their leafy suburbs of MPV's and cappuccinos, naively view these skivers as latter day Tiny Tim?s and Bob Cratchets. I doubt whether they would uphold such a romantic, Dickensian, view if they were forced to spend more than a week on some chavy sink estate in Grimsby. Silly fuckers.
I trust all members of the panel will join with me in sending out a message to all those undeserving parties who are shamelessly seeking incapacity hand outs ? ?Get back t? work, ya? lazy fuckers!!!?

I doubt very much if they'd listen to us.
There's a whole group of people in the bigger cities who claim a bad back or a slight limp makes them unemployable, then spend all their days in the pubs and bookies or, better still, getting cash in hand for some heavy labouring work. The worst of it is there are plenty of people who are unable to work, and they are being tarred with the brush of the idle; and some folk with genuine injuries who are unwilling to go the benefit route.
I can understand the frustration of the genuine cases, who head off to parliament in their wheelchairs to complain about means testing or the likes, but it's not them any measures are aimed at.
My inner Nazi tells me that the professional idler, who contributes nothing to society, should be taken to a glue factory where he would be turned into something useful. My inner Nazi, however, sees things in only black and white.

I had to pick up a prescription for my wife on New Years Eve and waited in the queue. 2 skanks ahead of me decked in gaudy rings and chav clothing were on about boozing, clubbing, partying ALL that night non-stop in and around the town.
When it came for her to collect her medication, she explained unashamedly that she was exempt as she was on income support. It pissed me off no end as I wish I could have enjoyed myself to the max, but as I work hard full time and attend college as well, my hard earned wages don't qualify me for this.

'Swinging the Lead' is a term used when WW1 soldiers who were too shell shocked to go back to the trenches were in hospital and doctors thought they feigned the symptoms of shell shock and similar trauma's and pulled teeth without anaesthetic, pulled fingernails off etc to see if they really were 'in shock'
Barbaric but VERY true.

My inner Nazi tells me that all the MP's, who contributes nothing to society, should be taken to a glue factory where he would be turned into something useful. By definition an MP is a bag of shit on legs and can't be of any use.
